After breakfast, depart to the beautiful Lake Manyara, a shallow alkaline lake that shimmers in a cleft in
the Great Rift Valley. You will arrive for lunch at your lodge followed by afternoon game drive.
Tucked below the majesty of the Rift Valley wall, Lake Manyara National Park consists of a thin green
band of forest, flanked by the sheer 600 m high red and brown cliffs of the escarpment on one side and
by the white-hot shores of an ancient soda lake on the other. Acacia woodland shelters the park’s famous
tree climbing lions, lying languidly among the branches in the heat of the day. Lake Manyara
safaris offers many unique views including elephant, giraffe, buffalo and wildebeest can be found grazing
in unexpected clearings or heading towards the water to drink or wash, and the rivers and riverbeds
provide scenic vistas for possible animal spotting.
Dinner and Overnight stay at the lodge.

Day notes
On the second day, you will have a full day of game viewing drives in the park with
all meals and overnight at the park.
The spectacle of predator versus prey dominates greatest park during a Serengeti safari. Golden-maned
lion prides feast on the abundance of plain grazers. Solitary leopards haunt the acacia trees lining the
Seronera River, while a high density of cheetahs prowls the southeastern plains. Almost uniquely, all
three African jackal species occur here, alongside the spotted hyena and a host of more elusive small
predators, ranging from the insectivorous aardwolf to the beautiful serval cat. But there is more to a
safari in the Serengeti Plain than large mammals. Gaudy agama lizards and rock hyraxes scuffle around
the surfaces of the park's isolated granite koppies. A full 100 varieties of dung beetle have been
recorded, as have 500-plus bird species, ranging from the outsized ostrich and bizarre secretary bird of
the open grassland, to the black eagles that soar effortlessly above the Lobo Hills.
Day notes
You will have an early morning game drive. Following breakfast, depart for the famous Ngorongoro
Crater Conservation Area (NCCA), which features rolling plains, lakes, craters, mountains and dormant
volcanoes. Journey up the side of the vast Ngorongoro Crater, a World Heritage Site, which is one of the
largest volcanic craters in the world (almost 20 kilometers wide, 610-760 metres deep and covering a
total area of 264 sq km). Arrive for lunch at Ngorongoro Farm House. Rest of the afternoon at leisure.
Optional afternoon coffee walk on complimentary.

After breakfast, descend into the ‘8th Wonder of the World’, a unique biosphere that has remained
virtually unchanged since the dawn of time. Enclosed within its towering walls are grasslands, swamps,
forests, saltpans, a fresh water lake and a glorious variety of birdlife. Here too are all the members of the
‘Big Five’ (lion, elephant, rhino, leopard and buffalo) as well as a large cast of plains game and one of
Africa’s densest populations of predators. Enjoy a picnic lunch on the crater floor before climbing up.
You will be transferred to Ngorongoro Farm House for overnight.
